What are facts about the tundra biome?

Answer 1

• underneath the first toop layer of topsoil, there is a layer of permanantly frozen ground called permafrost.
• during the summer, plants can grow, but due to the permafrost, only small rooted plants can exist.
• some animals such as reindeer and moose migrate to these regions to feed on the small plants during the summer
• the average temperature is a frigid -9 to 25 degrees celcius.
• the tundra regions can be found in most northern regions and around the south pole.

The tundra is technically a desert because it gets less than 10 inches of rain a year. It is very barren and mostly treeless because the soil is permafrost or permanently frozen ground.

Answer 2

The tundra biome is characterized by cold temperatures, low biodiversity, and short growing seasons. The vegetation in tundra consists mainly of mosses, lichens, and low-lying shrubs adapted to the harsh conditions. Permafrost, a layer of permanently frozen soil, is a key feature of tundra landscapes.
